The towns visited are very small with little other than tourist shops, but that's not what you go to Alaska for. All of our excursions were wonderful, I highly recommend that you book an excursion in every port.

Loved having the extra room, and the balcony was incredible.

Ship tip

There were 19 family members in our party. I can't think of a better way to travel with a large group of people and still be able to eat meals together. The staff all around was incredible!

Thank you for your review even if it's 3 years old. Also going to Alaska (Inside Passage from Seattle) in September. Was there any vibrations from the propellers or smoke from the smokestacks, being in the aft? Also wondered if there was a problem with waves/seasickness in that area, too? We're planning on camping on the balcony for the Tracy Arm Fjord and imagine, being at the back of the ship, it shouldn't be breezy. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
